No, it's not. The web and the real world aren't disjoint sets, and I don't see how it's of any benefit to people who are looking for Debian services to exclude self-evidently qualified consultants from the list just because they don't offer an email address for contact. Surely I'm not the only one who's used the web before to locate a company that I then contacted by phone? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
